The homemade explosive failed to detonate and no one was hurt in the shootings, but Ware is now sleeping with a gun near his bed.

The Macomb County Sheriff's Office says the shootings are likely related to an incident that took place Sept. 27 near Ware's house on Clair Street in which two groups of young adults fought and one was stabbed and robbed.

"We believe there are two groups of friends who have something going on between them and we are taking steps to stop this before there are more serious consequences," Detective Capt. John Roberts told the Daily, noting two people have been arrested.
